What Causes Shortness Of Breath, Dizziness And Tingling In Chest?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I am 36 yo male and these last few months I have been experiencing tingling in my chest,shortness of breath and feeling dizzy. I am bulemic and throw up quite often and i am thinking that i have done some damage. i am aslo a smoker. I am scared that something horrible is about to happen to me. I have been several times to hospital were they done the ecg test and they say that my heart is fine but i am still not convinced as these sensations are still there on a daily basis especially during the evenings. Are you able to help?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are smoker, we should should definitely rule out bronchitis for your symptoms.
So get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If PFT is normal then no need to worry.
Bulimia is a psychological disease. Untreated bulimia can also cause similar symptoms.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need psychiatric drug also.
Once your bulimia is controlled, your symptoms will also subside. And quit smoking as soon as possible as it is not a good habit.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
